A Garden of Verses
In this garden so untended
we are growing undefended
from the parasites and beasts
who approach us for a feast
Pomegranates and persimmons
cherries,grapes and even lemons,
grow haphazard all entwined
we are strong and ill defined,
Hold me up along your vines
I am weak and short of lines,
to express my fevered state,
feed my roots, insure my fate,
write me out a sunny day
rhyme a rainbow,and then say
soft spring showers came and went
my head hangs low,my stalk is bent
A sad sunflower I should be
without you growing next to me
to let me lean upon a friend,
your magic keeps me on the mend.
